Price for decent box?

Recommended Posts

Im looking around locally for a place to build a box for 2 15's. Ive heard of a place called precision audio but I'm not too sure if they use quality material/planning/preparation/etc. All I know is they charge about 250-300 for a box. Does this sound reasonable to you? I know there are a whole bunch of variables but judging from your past purchases and stuff, let me know, thanks.

Reasonable if there's a lot of labor extensive work and the craftsmanship is flawless...

All right thanks. Never heard of any box prices before so I expect it to be quality. They built a box for my friends 12's and it slams. So for the most part, I just tell them what I want it tuned to and how many cubes and they do it to my specifications? Never had a box built for me before.

For $250, I'd expect at least 3/4" mdf preferably 1" and a double baffle with bracing. This would include a fairly standard ported or sealed enclosure even though the sealed is obviously easier to make. I wouldn't expect to see any seams in the end at that price either.

Tell them to eff the terminal cup and just give you a wire either coming out the port or the side of the box.

We charge about those prices with a standard box design. After seeing one of our boxes basicly launch one of those terminal cups we drill holes for the wires and silicone seal them with a 1/4" round plate to make it pretty.
